Gold has had a nice run over the last few months and it's garnered a lot of attention. Silver has kind of gotten lost in the shadow of gold's shine. But as host Mike Maharrey explains in this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, people should be paying attention to silver. It has outperformed gold in this gold bull market and there are plenty of reasons to believe the silver bull has a lot of leg left.

Some people will tell you there is no sense owning gold or silver because the government will just take it from you. They base this notion on FDR's gold confiscation order in 1933.

The Federal Reserve and the U.S. government have a big problem. The Fed is trying to take down sticky price inflation but it can never win the fight.

The national debt has spiraled to nearly $34.6 trillion. It's easy to point out that this is the problem. But what are we going to do about it? Answering that question isn't so simple.

We'd be better off with sound money. But how do we get there? It's a political question, and unless they are well-funded, most people feel pretty powerless when it comes to making change through the political process. Maybe that's because we need a better approach. In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek memo, host Mike Maharrey presents an alternative - a bottom-up approach that avoids Washington D.C.
